Josh Sanburn’s Feb. 1 cover story on the water crisis in Flint, Mich., was, said Tom Svoboda of Alsip, Ill., a “wonderful piece exposing willful wrongdoing at the highest state level for greed and profit.” Especially striking to MSNBC anchor Craig Melvin, who interviewed Sanburn, was that the Environmental Protection Agency “may have also dropped the ball.” And the Michael Moore essay that accompanied the story, in which the filmmaker called the crisis a “racial crime,” impressed even his critics, like Charles Rulander of Houston. “Moore can be overtly subjective,” he wrote, “[but] I think he is nearly spot-on here.”

Many were also moved by Detroit Free Press photographer Regina H. Boone’s cover photo–which the Source called “chilling”–of Flint resident Sincere Smith, 2. Widely shared on social media, the cover prompted Flint TV reporter Dave Bondy to tweet a simple comment: “Wow.”

But on Twitter, DJ Seth Troxler questioned why the discussion did not extend to the often stereotypical nature of the parts that do exist for nonwhite actors. “No roles, no Oscars,” he wrote. “It’s basic.”
